1. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) |
bang path
n.
[now historical] An old-style UUCP electronic-mail address specifying hops
to get from some assumed-reachable location to the addressee, so called
because each hop is signified by a bang sign. Thus, for example, the
path ...!bigsite!foovax!barbox!me directs people to route their mail to
machine bigsite (presumably a well-known location accessible to everybody)
and from there through the machine foovax to the account of user me on
barbox.
In the bad old days of not so long ago, before autorouting mailers and
Internet became commonplace, people often published compound bang addresses
using the convention (see glob) to give paths from several big
machines, in the hopes that one's correspondent might be able to get mail
to one of them reliably (example: ...!seismo, ut-sally, ihnp4!rice!beta!
gamma!me). Bang paths of 8 to 10 hops were not uncommon. Late-night
dial-up UUCP links would cause week-long transmission times. Bang paths
were often selected by both transmission time and reliability, as messages
would not infrequently get lost. See the network and sitename.

2. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018) |
bang path
1. An old-style UUCP electronic-mail
address naming a sequence of hosts through which a message
must pass to get from some assumed-reachable location to the
addressee (a "source route"). So called because each hop
is signified by a bang sign (exclamation mark). Thus, for
example, the path
...!bigsite!foovax!barbox!me
directs people to route their mail to computer bigsite
(presumably a well-known location accessible to everybody) and
from there through the computer foovax to the account of user
me on barbox.
Before autorouting mailers became commonplace, people often
published compound bang addresses using the convention
(see glob) to give paths from *several* big computers, in
the hope that one's correspondent might be able to get mail to
one of them reliably. e.g.
...!seismo, ut-sally, ihnp4!rice!beta!gamma!me
Bang paths of 8 to 10 hops were not uncommon in 1981.
Late-night dial-up UUCP links would cause week-long
transmission times. Bang paths were often selected by both
transmission time and reliability, as messages would often get
lost.
2. A shebang.
